Re: "Best trained Savannah monitor"
They froze to death. Monitors are lizards of habit, whether he had food is irrelevant, they already associated the call with feeding. If they don't get fed once or twice, they won't erase the habit. What would happen if he called him persistently and never fed him. Thats the real question.
Another thing is to watch how slow and sluggish they are, that is anything but the normal. If you don't believe me just watch infernalis's videos and see how much thinner and energetic they are. Also his blackthroat barely moves in ALL of his videos. If he does, its in slow motion.

Re: "Best trained Savannah monitor"
Also, Corey, I don't think he ever claimed to be "the best monitor and iguana keeper ever", I think he mentioned his iguana holding the world record for eggs laid, which was at about 55 or so eggs.

I couldn't agree with you more.....
When I try and tell people that a healthy monitor should not be keen on laying on a person while watching TV, I get flak for it.
My little beasties run all over exploring everything, yes sometimes the pace is casual, but the moment I pick one up, the squirming begins.
I think that seems more "normal" for a wild animal.

Oh well, people won't understand that, and the ones with the skittish monitors are the bad keepers. The "tame" ones are much better kept, so we should all keep our monitors,iguanas,dogs and sheep in the same enclosure. Speaking of that, on "another" forum, someone recently posted that hes new and has a water monitor (which the youtube gale dude also had, which also died) and a green iguana in the same cage, and was hoping to cross breed them......

I keep getting crap from my family about why I don't touch my monitors. They think I'm a bad owner because I "neglect" them lol. I just enjoy watching them, I'm not looking for a dog.
